    Content Producers: You're On Notice.

    Guess what? I've had some money & time to burn, so I bought a shit ton of camera gear..... have a friend in the biz..... and got nothing but time.

    Please explain to me what makes you special, for clicking the button on your cam?

    And I've seen the best & the worst.... I'm not gonna name names, but you guys are as far & between as good designers. Most of you are just assholes with a fucking camera.

    Impress me with SOMETHING.

                  I agree with you there, AMP. Most guys who call themselves photographers here are nothing more than GWC's. Or "Guys With Cameras". That's actually entirely the reason I started shooting content in the first place, was because despite the fact that prior to 2001 I had never picked up a camera, I knew as a matter of fact I could absolutely murder the guys that were doing this for a living.

                      Exactly Xen....

                      I'm guessing there are NO content guys willing to defend themselves on this.
                      Show me one pic I can't shoot myself with my fancy new shit I bought. Show me ONE.

                      Oh sure..... you could argue "contacts". That just a matter of time.

                          Not worried. It took me a long time to get good and its not the gear, its how you use it and your "eye".


                          Just ask Dyna Mo he got to see the difference 1st hand.


                          I do wish you luck though. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

                                              I am definitely probably further towards the "worse" part of the spectrum if you've even seen any of my shit ... and as reletively new to the industry as I am I'm not really the best person to chime in on this BUUUUT.


                                              In my limited experience, models are a pain in the ass, and all I'm shooting is solo girl content.


                                              If I had even the slightest clue how to do any of this internet shit I would be much happier doing that as opposed to actually being "hands on" with models. If you can/want to deal with, by all means. But I'd rather just pay someone to do it.

                                                                                                  Please explain to me what makes you special, for clicking the button on your cam?

                                                                                                  And I've seen the best & the worst.... I'm not gonna name names, but you guys are as far & between as good designers. Most of you are just assholes with a fucking camera.

                                                                                                  Impress me with SOMETHING.

But you can say you own the game and you can tell people you are good at it, but one day its gonna cost you a lot to find out that you made a serious mistake.

I'm the guy behind the affiliate program owners, telling them to tell you, to roust them out of bed, bandage up his cock, down some fucking coffee, bring them in AGAIN, and "Shoot It Again!" because you fucked up the first 5 times.

                                                                                                          "Working With Models"? Really? How about getting the fucking RIGHT shot the 1st time?

You guys do what you do. You are as individual as us designers. I have much respect for the ones that put some effort into it, same as designers.

After 10 years in this shit, believe me, I know which photogs I respect and which I don't. And even the ones I "respect" get called out at least once a month for fuckups.

Photogs.... need to step back and re-evaluate yourselves. I can do what you do, RIGHT NOW. If I need to prove it, I will.

But you can say you own the game and you can tell people you are good at it, but one day its gonna cost you a lot to find out that you made a serious mistake.

Bottom Line: the world sees what "I" and the other designers allow it to see. Out of 1000 pics you shoot, I might find 3 good ones worth using "up front".

Offer your help to someone who will apprecite it. Its obvious he failed as a designer so now hes trying the step before as a photographer. Probably next year he will be selling cameras to guys like us.

Offer your help to someone who will apprecite it. Its obvious he failed as a designer so now hes trying the step before as a photographer. Probably next year he will be selling cameras to guys like us.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Point #2: Someone is being contracted to do this shit before it hits my (our) desk. Some asshole out there is saying "Yeah, I'll do it for $200 bucks... TOTAL! That includes model fees!"....

                                                                                                                                                                                      Point #3: Stop it!

                                                                                                                                                                                      You wanna bag on the designers here for producing fucked up shitty tours.... take a good hard look at the content shooters supplying the shit. How fucking hard is it to take a bunch of pics? Especially today with high-end digital these days? There's no skill left involved that can't be gleaned from a book @ Borders.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Fault of the clients? Yes. I agree. They are the ones ultimately paying for the shit they buy. But as a photog, if you shoot better grade shit, you acquire better clients. It's a given. Unless of course your business model is to appeal to the lowest bidder.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Point #4: Why the fuck can't I buy a bunch of high-end camera gear and shoot pics of naked chicks just as easily?

                                                                                                                                                                                      The days of.... "Well,... I'm a "Mysterious Photographer" that knows shit you'll never know"..... are fucking over. We're not dealing with 35mm film and dark rooms any more here. Please...

                                                                                                                                                                                              The content guys all jumped on me when I said that self-shot stuff was becoming a bigger and bigger threat. My argument was that anyone can get a pretty good HD camera that makes HQ videos that look great on the web for $150.

                                                                                                                                                                                              They argued with me and I didn't have a comeback.

                                                                                                                                                                                              The other day I figured out the comeback...the success of Dare Dorm and Haze Him (both converting at better than 1:100 for me and many others) is proof that consumers don't care about perfect videos.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Models and fulfilled fantasies are what sell. While members may appreciate great video with awesome lighting, it is by no means a requirement of success.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I can't blame them for being upset with me. I'd get upset if people said my livelihood was threatened, too.

I'm not seeing how his camera & finger is any better than my own camera & finger.

And of course, I can always make a better "Photog Flash Site".... with about 2 hours notice.

I'm going to spend next week putting together a folio of my own. Of the last 20 years, 'Best Pics'.... I'll keep you updated.
